Jian Xiaoshuang's voice was loud and clear as it resounded throughout the area. The sword in her hand swirled with a sharp sword intent. Those who practiced the sword would gain an extreme understanding of the sword. There was no need for them to slash out, just the sword intent that came with the sword was enough to kill.
When she stabbed out with her sword, it was as though there was a clap of thunder. Instantly, a bolt of lightning tore through the sky and shot straight at Yi Yun.
With Jian Xiaoshuang's character, she would naturally strike with the force of a thunderbolt against an opponent like Yi Yun. She wanted to use this strike to make Yi Yun understand the gap between them.
Everyone present could sense the sharpness of the sword beam. Weaker warriors like Yan Tiancong felt their hair stand on end as they felt a sense of life-and-death danger.
This was sword intent. Without facing it head-on, it felt like a sword was pressed against his glabella.
"Is the gap between me and Jian Xiaoshuang that great …?"
Yan Tiancong felt a sense of defeat. Under the sharp sword intent, he could not help but activate the Yuan Qi barrier in his body.
"Little Sword Fairy indeed lives up to her reputation. Even I, your master, will be forced to use a portion of my strength." His Excellency Huayu said lightly.
While Yan Tiancong felt defeated, he also revealed a sinister look. He wanted to see how Yi Yun would withstand it.
Yi Yun was taken aback when faced with this strike.
He was somewhat familiar with the sword beam. Back in the Tian Yuan world's Great Empress mystic realm, he had once witnessed the battle between Azure Yang Lord and the Black-armored Demon God through a disk array.
Back then, Azure Yang Lord's strike had split the heavens and earth. The sword intent contained within was extremely similar to Jian Xiaoshuang's strike.
"From the looks of it, even if they are not Azure Yang Lord's direct descendants, they must have inherited Azure Yang Lord's heritage." Yi Yun thought.
Azure Yang Lord's strike in the disk array was actually inherited from the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner. However, the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner's sword intent also contained Azure Yang Lord's own understanding of the Sword Dao.
Azure Yang Lord had only come into contact with the Pure Yang Sword Palace after coming to the Tian Yuan world. He used it to improve his sword techniques, allowing his sword intent to transform.
As such, Jian Xiaoshuang's sword clearly lacked the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner's sword intent.
Other than that, the Clarity Pool Sword Sect had also added their own things to Azure Yang Lord's heritage.
However, these things were far from the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner's Sword Dao concept.
No matter how powerful the Clarity Pool Sword Sect was, how could their Sword Dao understanding compare to the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner?
"Why is Yi Yun in a daze?" Everyone saw that Yi Yun stood there motionless despite facing Jian Xiaoshuang's strike. The expression on his face seemed to be in deep thought.
"Perhaps he's racking his brains, thinking of how to deal with it so that he doesn't embarrass himself. However, if you still don't make a move, you won't just be making a fool of yourself. Instead, you'll be defeated, "Yan Tiancong said coldly.
Just as Yan Tiancong's voice faded, Yi Yun looked up.
His expression was calm, as if what was slashing in front of him was not an earth-shattering sword, but a gentle breeze.
With a flip of Yi Yun's hand, an ordinary sword appeared in his palm. Instantly, an azure bolt of lightning tore through the sky. The sword beam seemed to pass through space and time, arriving from ancient times!
"Azure Rainbow Pierces the Blood Moon, Ice Soul Seals the God Abyss!"
"That's how this strike should be." Yi Yun's sword beam arrived first despite being launched later. At the instant he struck out, the azure bolt of lightning had already clashed with Jian Xiaoshuang's sword beam!
This strike contained the Azure Yang Lord's sword intent, as well as the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner's heritage, as well as Yi Yun's own Sword Dao!
"Whew!"
The sword beam tore through the world, becoming the only thing in the world. The seven dragon gates seemed to be penetrated by the strike.
Seeing Yi Yun's sword beam stab at her, Jian Xiaoshuang's cold expression changed!
Ka-cha!
The lightning struck the ground with a loud explosion. The pure Yang fire and lightning instantly devoured Jian Xiaoshuang's sword beam.
Jian Xiaoshuang retreated rapidly as the pure Yang energy did not lose its momentum. The dragon gates' light screens shattered layer by layer!
Jian Xiaoshuang was sent retreating by the strike. She retreated three platforms before landing on the ground.
And from the fourth platform Jian Xiaoshuang was on to the seventh platform, a sharp sword scar extended outwards. It was as straight as a ruler as it extended outwards.
The sword scar was only the width of a finger and there were pure Yang flames burning within it. The power of the flames spiraled upwards, making one feel a terrifying heat at a glance.
When Elder Fengxing saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
He had previously bragged about how powerful the Dragon Gate Platform's array formation was. The ancient array was indeed passed down from ancient times, but the platform itself was built by them.
Even so, with the Seven Star Auction House's immense wealth, the materials used to build such a platform were extremely precious. Every inch of it was protected by an array formation that could automatically repair any damage.
However, under the azure sword beam, the sword scar that penetrated the four platforms was burned by the pure Yang flames and restrained by Yi Yun's sword intent. The speed at which the sword scar recovered was so slow that it looked like it was motionless.
As for Yi Yun, he had only struck out once.
"This … This is his true strength?"
Yan Tiancong's face was pale as his mind trembled. In that terrifying sword stance, Yan Tiancong's protective Yuan Qi had been pushed to its limits. But even so, he still felt a stabbing pain on his skin as his blood surged!
By the side, His Excellency Huayu had an ugly expression as well.
Previously, when he said that Jian Xiaoshuang's sword beam had forced him to use a portion of his strength, he had been deliberately bragging about his combat strength.
But now, against Yi Yun's sword, he even felt like he was no match for it. He knew very well that Yi Yun's strike was not at full strength. What would happen if he were to block Yi Yun's strike with all his strength?
Was Yi Yun really a junior that had not cultivated for more than sixty years? He had already lived for tens of thousands of years!
At that moment, Jian Xiaoshuang landed on the ground. Her long hair fluttered as she stared at Yi Yun with sword-like eyes. "What's up with that strike of yours?"
Jian Xiaoshuang's sword beam clashed with Yi Yun. She deeply sensed that Yi Yun's strike had some sword intent that was similar to hers, but its strength was greater than hers. The Sword Dao laws it contained were also more profound.
Jian Xiaoshuang's words left everyone stunned. Thinking back to the strike from before, it was indeed so.
"Could it be that Yi Yun was learning Jian Xiaoshuang's strike while pondering?"
It was impossible to learn an enemy's move in a blink of an eye. It was just a momentary thought.
"Perhaps Yi Yun has learned similar moves in the past. Some ancient heritages are not unique, so it's normal."
Although people said so, Jian Xiaoshuang knew that Startling Rainbow Strike was a core martial art of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect. It was impossible for outsiders to know of it. She looked at Yi Yun with eyes filled with doubt and shock.
